<p>ECs are good, but the low SATs and SAT II scores are hard to overlook. You need to retake the SAT (2100+) or take ACT (32+) to have a chance, considering that the other applicants in the pool have equally as good EC, if not better ECs. good luck :)</p>

<p>For what major? Maybe if you can show a flare and/or interest in an undersubscibed major. If you are looking at natural sciences, IS or other competitive majors, this is a high reach for you. Absolutely no reason why JHU should take you with so many with the same profile and better test scores.</p>
